I would prefer solution b, i.e. reassigning. Matt, would you be so kind
and do this? You probably remember which "X man page" you were referring
to, and thus know which package is appropriate. If you do, please
explain the issue in a non-xdvi-specific way, and make sure that both
the tetex list and the X strike force get a copy of the mail (I knever
know whether the control server or the BTS mailserver is faster...)

Thank you in advance, Frank
